Warning: Remove/update my patches (packages) before upgrading SailfishOS
asked 2015-10-23 15:14:24 +0300
Warning: I have run into problems with some of my patches (PullDown Covers, Enhanced Lockscreen, Improved Launcher Hinting) while upgrading to 2.0.0.10 - I have set the dependency to a specific version of lipstick-jolla-home-qt5, but it causes this package not to upgrade. Basically, you will end up with an unusable phone.
If you haven't upgraded yet, then you have two options:
- remove the packages
- update the packages to the latest version
Do this before upgrading.
If you already upgraded the system and ended up with a blank screen, then ssh into the device (if you have the access) and do:
pkcon remove sailfishos-patch-pulldown-covers
pkcon remove sailfishos-patch-improved-launcher-hinting
pkcon remove sailfishos-patch-enhanced-lockscreen
pkcon install lipstick-jolla-home-qt5
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Sorry, do you mean disabling the patches are not enough?

On the other hand, I seem to be the only one having such problem and others reported that the patches were correctly and automatically uninstalled during the upgrade. So it might have been just an error on my side.
Either way, I didn't want to take any chances - that's why I published this warning. Just to be sure :) You can just upgrade the patches to their latest version - they fix the problem too. I hope to release versions for 2.0.0.10 soon as well.
